Official Description
This document is a Mission Report (MISREP), a standardized reporting form the U.S. Military uses to record the circumstances surrounding its operations. U.S. military services often use MISREPs to report Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to AARO. The GENTEXT, or “general text” section of these reports often contains important qualitative, contextual information, distinguishing it from the more quantitative, or numerical, data found elsewhere in the report. A U.S. military operator reported observing one UAP at an estimated altitude of approximately 24,000 feet. The observer estimated the UAP’s speed as 163 knots (187 mph). All descriptive and estimative language contained in this report reflects the reporter’s subjective interpretation at the time of the event. Such characterizations should not be interpreted as a conclusive indication of the presence or absence of any intrinsic object features or performance characteristics.
This is a declassified SECRET//NOFORN USCENTCOM Mission Report (MISREP undefined-10055709) documenting a UAP observation during an ISR mission conducted under Operation ENDURING SENTINEL on June 6-7, 2024. During return-to-base at 0457Z on June 7, 2024, an airborne asset operating at 23,999 feet MSL detected one UAP described as a glowing hot spherical object with a vertical cylindrical pole/bar attached to its bottom, flying straight over water at an estimated 140 knots. The mission was originated by 3rd Special Operations Squadron (3 SOS), 27th Special Operations Wing (27 SOW), operating under AFSOC/USCENTCOM, and the report was approved for release to AARO on October 28, 2025.

Analyst Notes
Single-platform observation with no third-party observers or reporters listed; no sensor interrogation of the UAP was conducted (confirmed 'NO'); altitude and velocity data are explicitly listed as 'estimated' rather than measured; the observer personally assessed the UAP as 'benign'; the cylindrical pole/bar attached below the spherical object and possible water reflection could be consistent with a buoy, maritime device, or optical artifact when viewed from 24,000 feet at night; the aircraft type, callsign, and tail number are redacted, limiting independent verification of sensor capabilities.
